From an early age I was interested in spirituality and the world of nature.
I studied agriculture and was an organic and bio-dynamic farmer and gardener.
I worked with children and the disabled in many dynamic and artistic therapeutic situations. Including as a Steiner Teacher, an Actor and connecting to the rhythms of the land.
I delved deeply into many spiritual traditions, Buddhism, Taoism and Anthroposophy. Studying with some of the most renowned teachers. Travelling to America, Europe and Japan.
During this time I became aware of my natural healing ability, which led me to study Healing-Shiatsu with Sonia Moriceau. I graduated in 1993.
My journey to Healing-Shiatsu:
At the age of 20 I began a 14 year extensive training in Zen and Mindfulness Meditation with Meditation and Zen Master, John Garrie Roshi. His unique and profound teaching in freedom forms the basis of my Tai-Ji and Healing practice. With his encouragement I studied Tai-Ji and Taoism and developed my natural healing skills by training in Healing-Shiatsu with Sonia Moriceau. Sonia established the first professional training in Shiatsu in the U.K.
I am a Member of the Shiatsu Society with over 30 years experience in Shiatsu.
I studied for 3 years in Tantra with Namgyal Rinpoche. Attending workshops in Canada and the UK.
Since 2001 I have worked closely with the internationally recognised Tai-Ji Master, Chungliang Al Huang, author of the classic, “Embrace tiger, return to mountain.” Attending extensive training programs in Oregon, USA and Switzerland.
I am a recognised teacher of Tai-Ji with the Living Tao Foundation
I have run Classes Tai-Ji since 1998. I have worked for County Councils and the NHS helping people bring the essence of Tai-Ji and relaxation into their working lives.
